A Major Change to George Washington's house...
Previous VLOG explaining why the central passage was repainted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgiaqnxK1rc
For 2 weeks, the mansion was closed to the public as our architecture, archaeology and collections teams spent time working on various restoration projects. However, the architecture team had a very big task: repainting the central passage in a new period correct color. In this video, we show the entire painting process, and the other activities that were going on during those 2 weeks.
